There were a lot of out of the box beauty looks at of this past New York Fashion Week. (I mean, who can forget Rodarte’s pierced eyebrows?) But what caught my eye was the nails. Instead of intricate, complicated nail designs, we got a taste of the negative space manicure. In other words: leaving a part of your bare nail showing.

This may sound fancy and difficult, but I promise it's not as hard as, say, painting a donut on your dominant hand. It's actually super easy, just look at the three spring 2015 NYFW nail looks I've recreated below.

The hardest part is waiting for your nails to dry, I promise!

Black-And-White Negative Space Nails

Bold black-and-white geometric shapes took hold at Kye Spring 2015, and for a moment, everything was right in the world.

STEP 2. Add striping tape or stencils in the different designs shown, making sure to leave the thumb untouched.

STEP 3. Apply one to two coats of either black or white polish, depending on the finger. Paint thumbs white and, once dry, add stencils. Then paint black polish to the tips and allow substantial time to dry.
